Jazz up envelopes by creating your own from scratch!

instructions
  1. Step One - Draw around an envelope template or sketch your own envelope shape onto a photo, patterned or plain paper. Ensure the front of the envelope is slightly larger than your card and remember to add flaps.

  2. Step Two - Score and fold along the sides of the envelope, folding the flaps inwards using a ruler and scoring tool.

  3. Step Three - Make a lining by drawing around the front and opening flap of the envelope template onto thin paper. Cut 3mm from each side and enough from the bottom edge so the lining sits snug to the main section of the envelope and just down from the opening (fancy) edge. Stick the lining to the inside.
    step three

  4. Step Four - Seal the flaps closed with double-sided tape and embellish with a sticker seal to finish.
